Active Child: Hi-Dive in Denver
September 19, 2011 by Andrew Martin
To call Active Child mesmerizing is a complete understatement. Former choir boy Pat Grossi’s soaring vocals, atmospheric textures, and blissful harp playing is at once compelling, original, and captivating. Their debut full length, “You Are All I See,” is a consistent follow-up to the insanely good “Curtis Lane” EP–the band … read more.

Show Review: Jimmy Eat World, We Were Promised Jetpacks
October 4, 2010 by Andrew Martin
